PSP Evolution — The Latest Mod from Acidmods

greg | April 2, 2007

I’m not entirely sure what to call this mod, “PSP Evolution” perhaps… But damn, it’s undeniable wondrous… Coming from the experts over at Acidmods, F00 f00 has managed to engineer the following:

Basically the analogue nub has been modified to act as the dpad, and the dpad has been replaced with a ps2 style analogue joystick. The left trigger is pushed by pressing down on the stick.

I also added a few leds an a clear back plate for style points (as always i got my clear parts from coolmods.co.uk)

Check it out!

You know you want it!

Wait till you see what’s next. ;)

very nice mod! This would keep my hand from crampiing over a long play time. The position is much more natural for you to grab the psp with your palm.

Pretty nice mod, LED’s are bright! (i love blue LEDs)…….remember ppl, these are hardware mods, useless or not, it’s a hardware modded psp and the psp still works.

LEDs run forever on a regular 3volt CR2032 battery dude, compared to a sony battery, it’ll last as long as game play. And if you didn’t know, the back light of the PSP LCD (the part that makes the PSP LCD light up, consists of 5 smaller hyper white LEDs at the bottom. I know and seen it because I’ve taken a broken LCD PSP apart to fix and replace the cracked LCD.

Not to modders or few ppl who are used to blue LED’s (like me), but yes sometimes the brightness keeps me awake at night, and there comes the idea to have a on and off switch somewhere.

People complained with the Rock music last time, and the slow classic rock the other time, now RAP? You know there’s lots of other videos mods with different music. Follow into acidmods site and you’ll see.

I’m just saying rap music is fucking lame and anyone who likes it is mentaly retarded. =)
Listen to heavy metal children.

You insult yourself with your shrewd outlook on music and crave for the acceptance of others through hasty generalization

Nice job with the vocab. :)
I myself don’t like rap music, but I can live with it. Everyone doesn’t like the same music…

Testing 1, 2, 3……… AHHAHA…, … but hey arcane_hacker, im a regular Deejay, and sure, I have to be diverse with the music man. Just the thing is, rap is so ….. just talk with rhymes and throw a beat in, and hearing it too often just makes it lame after a matter of time.

heavy metal is fucking lame, hey let’s listen to a bunch noise made by drums and guitars and the lead singer is screaming random noise, the music has no words and is stupid :) rap music is the future and rap actually has a theme in their songs. so shut the fuck up about rap music. p.s. you probably listen to slow to understand it anyways.

wow ur a idiot lol even if u cant understand what there saying it doesn’t matter cause it still takes talent lol they actually play instruments, but with rap they like push a button and a beat comes on then they just talk about how there going to kill some ” hoe”, rob some store or shoot up some place now thats fucking dumb
if rap was banned the world would be a better place lol.
and no im not a metal head i like anything besides rap

cool with the leds and all, but too many of them in my opinion, looks like a christmas tree.

off topic…
The video would have been much better without that hip hop crap. I had to turn off my speakers cause I couldn´t stand it. Iron Maiden rocks!!!

fuckin a Iron Maiden kicks ass

2007-04-03 01:45:25

How do the comments always get turned into something other than the focus of the actual mod. try not to post if you want to bash rap music do that somewhere else.

Comment by F00 f00
2007-04-03 12:00:37

Sorry to re ignite this debate, but I’d like to throw my opinion out there. First off Maiden are a great band. But that dose not mean there are no other great bands or music out there.
Everyone should take the time to broaden there musical experience. People who only enjoy one genre of music have no imagination.

Comment by Falcon
2007-04-03 16:36:09

I listen to practically all types of music, I’m also a guitar-teacher and play all kinds of music. But the one type of music I just cant stand, is hip hop. Call me whatever you want, flame my ass and so on but I wont change my opinion about hip hop.

2007-04-02 22:46:21

they did do it with the analog and they changed the d-pad to the analog they swapped the positions of them.

what did he do to the right side of his psp where the x square circle and trianle buttons are i couldnt see it because of the really bright LED

Comment by bxpapi
2007-04-02 23:10:01

goodbye homebrew. even if the PSP pad sucks, it’s still better than the analog stick for emus.

i’m sure this was a very technical mod though. good job.

Comment by F00 f00
2007-04-03 11:54:46

I am not sure if you have seen my last video, but this is the same psp that conects to a ps2 controller. I use that for emus. I love playing psx games on there :)

Comment by Ix
2007-04-03 19:46:23

oh, i see. i thought there was no way to use a D pad with this anymore. good job, then, man. does an arcade stick work at all with that connector? i’m probably holding out for piKey’s usb drivers, but who knows?

Look who’s talkin. A mod is a mod, it’s not affecting you or the shit that you crap out ever hour. This is what hardware modders do shitwipe. They try things out that can’t be done by others and another thing is that this mod is for FPS games or to relieve the thumb of getting cramped because of the other smaller stock analogue stick. It’s a hardware mod done to the psp without messing up it’s functionality.

try japanese music next time (j-rock, or use Miyavi’s music)

 
Comment by Locanis
2007-04-04 00:11:41

Well.. while it looks cool, I have two problems with this video/mod. A. It’s not very portable friendly having a huge stick coming out of it.. considering the PSP is for just that, portable gaming, the mod is not very practical. Still, if you find yourself using it at home mainly, then it has it’s perks. But my main problem, b, is that the video significantly lags behind the stick movements. Are we sure it is actual gameplay and not a video being replayed and “mimicked”? It just doesn’t seem to add up, no matter how repeatedly I view the video :/ Anyone else notice it?

Listen to uk grime ;]
Like somebody ahs already said, its great but…nobody really wants such a big analogue stick sticking out of the psp. It won’t fit in any case.

The lighting is great though.

actually he is right RAP is the future
you dimwitted rock cock suckers had been sleeping under rocks in case you havn’t noticed
and true atleast in rap you hear people speak unlike rock in which all you hear are loud guitars and drums which u could tell it didn’t really took any talent to made up and the front singer saying the same bullshit repeatedly for like 8minutes until the beats stops ?? since 2001 rap music has gone up from 8% world wide to over 32%and its still going does punk rock aquires any talent ?? you stupid faggots
